This isn’t my first read from Seven Rue, however, the first two books I struggled with getting into, but I was intrigued by this book and decided to check it out and I am so glad I did.

When October Starts is a forbidden, age gap, student/teacher romance. While it is taboo and there are plenty of steamy scenes this book had so much emotion behind it.

Juno is 17, a high school senior. She is full of sassy and the girl is hilarious. She’s an old soul. Ezra is 34, a teacher where Juno goes to school. He’s charming, sweet, loving and the man is dirty. The moment they met there was chemistry. They knew their love was wrong, but you can’t fight the connection.

The story took an unexpected emotional turn and my heart literally broke. You could feel all the pain and emotion coming from these characters.

While When October Starts is a forbidden, taboo romance this story was so much more. It was beautiful and emotional from the very beginning. If you don’t mind age gaps/taboo romances this one to check out.
